you need someone to pump it, then look while they pump it it prob won’t leak unless its under pressure. feel all the lines for any dampness esp the non metal ones ---

somtimes it takes a while to build up pressure, but the possibility still exists that you still have a bad master. IF you were not low on fluid, and have no leaks anywhere, im going with clutch master if the slave is not leaking ---

the master leaks INTO the car, look for fluid on the interior firewall under the carpet. ---

thanks again to the Turdblower for the help… running a new line woulda been $15 or so… a new slave woulda been $17 or so… so OF COURSE my problem had to be the $85 master. after fighting with, and partially stripping a few bolts and nuts…a little blood, little cold and runny noses…it’s good to go, and we were doing siqqQqQQqQ VTec pullz in no time!
